    Summary

    The Hero is meant to be courageous, to show no fear in the face of hopelessness.

    The Hero is meant to see things through, regardless of the personal cost.

    The Hero is meant to be a helping hand, one that does not ask for anything in return.

    By all accounts, Link was the Hero to a fault.

    [Or, a story in which Link must deal with a terminal illness and those around him do their best to support him through it.]

    [Chapter 14 and 15 submitted as work to Zelink Week 2025]
